Kuwaiti passport holders can enter Morocco without a visa for stays up to 90 days. This policy has been in place for years and remains unchanged in 2026. Just bring your passport and a return ticket.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport 6 months validity required | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your entry date. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. Overstaying your visa-free period costs 100 MAD per day (about $10), paid at the airport departure counter. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Outbound travel proof | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket showing you leave Morocco within 90 days. Budget airlines flying into Casablanca and Marrakech check this before issuing a boarding pass. A bus or ferry ticket to Spain counts as onward travel. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Officers at passport control may ask where you are staying. Have a printed or digital hotel confirmation, or a letter of invitation from a Moroccan host. Hostels and riads in Marrakech and Fes are used to providing confirmation letters. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash, card, or bank statement | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing you can support yourself during your stay. There is no fixed minimum amount, but having 500–1,000 MAD in cash (about $50–$100) for immediate expenses helps at the border. ATMs are widely available in cities. | Recommended |
No visa needed, but be prepared
Kuwaiti passport holders get 90 days visa-free in Morocco. No forms, no fees. Just a valid passport and a return ticket. Keep a screenshot of your booking on your phone.
Travel insurance is cheap insurance
Not required for entry, but a medical emergency in Morocco can cost hundreds per day. A basic travel insurance policy costs around $20–50 for a week. Worth it.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Moroccan immigration
At any Moroccan airport (Casablanca, Marrakech, Rabat, etc.), follow signs to 'Passport Control' or 'Arrivals'. Join the queue for non-Moroccans.
2
Present your documents
Hand over your passport and any supporting documents if asked. The officer will check your passport validity, stamp your entry, and return your passport. No forms to fill.
3
Collect your luggage and exit
After passport control, proceed to baggage claim, then customs (usually green channel for nothing to declare). You're free to enter Morocco.
